DRONE POP #1 by DOCUMENTA

Drone Pop #1 is the second album by cosmic drone-pop septet Documenta.Recorded over four days at Start Together Studios Belfast by Ben McAuley and the band, it also features additional production from David Holmes on ‘Love As A Ghost’. Influenced by the English guitar minimalism emanating from 1980s Rugby, the darkness and light of Detroit’s hit factory, and the German Kosmische set’s concrète groove - Documenta present a true psychedelia through repetition, melody and rhythm. A patient year-long process of experimentation and mixing - where the group added “washing machines, aircraft and the sound of Saturday night” - encouraged a fuller overall feel and a marked sonic progression. “We experimented at home quite a bit before returning to the studio so we got to stretch our imagination. We’re constantly learning as a band and this seemed like the next musical step.” Soul music in outer space.
